Remove executable from path
I have a script called teleport in my path. When I type tele and hit tab, I'd like for tab-completion to complete this to teleport.
However, there's another program installed on my system: telepathy-gabble-xmpp-console This starts with the same letters, so tab completion only gets up to telep.
If this were my system, I would just remove that one executable to improve my workflow. However, this is a shared server. (Accounts are not shared.)
Alternately, I could change my $PATH to exclude it. However, telepathy-gabble-xmpp-console is in /bin, and obviously I can't just remove /bin from my path.
The solutions described in this thread don't work, because defining a function or alias will still autocomplete to that function or alias.
How do I take a single executable out of my $PATH?
(Yes, I realize that this is a lot of work for a small benefit.)

Another option could be to just aliasteletoteleport, and then you don't even need to hit tab.
